She already has Avira, you can't run two antivirus programs at the same time.
How old is your daughter? I really can't see how she can be downloading all these viruses from picture files. At the very least, she should be doing a scan of any files she downloads before opening them up. You might need to reformat your computer: save all your important files to an external hard drive, wipe the computer and reinstall your operating system. Then make sure your daughter knows how to use the computer properly so that she doesn't repeat this.

i'd kill avira.. it's obviously not doing it's job
google images is really bad for viruses, marstec.. i picked one up one day that killed my internet exploder just from clicking on a picture.. many times avast has also stopped trojans from getting into my computer just from clicking on google images
people who make viruses suck
